nice to meet you
i am crystal wollesen,
a Destination Wedding
& Lifestyle Photographer, based in the Twin Cities. I can’t wait to meet you and hear all about the cheesy wedding photos you DON’T want me to take. If you’re looking for straight business and a boring experience, you’re in the wrong place. I want to learn about you – what makes you laugh and who initiates your tears of joy. All in all, your memories are priceless, so I’m going to treat you like a million bucks! Since you’re inviting me to share in a piece of your life, let me tell you a bit more about my own. I couldn’t survive without Target, Chipotle burritos, cuddling with my dog, Mr. Mac, gummy worms, and I try to never schedule a session during a Vikings game. What can I say, priorities are priorities! I’m an open book, and I’d love for you to get to know me as much as I’d like to get to know you!
my style
As a wedding photographer, I strive to capture the essence of your relationship throughout your wedding day. Shooting a mix between photojournalistic and editorial wedding photography, my second photographer and I will capture the event from start to finish. Whether it’s capturing images of the bride in the salon or the groom tying his tie, my photography won’t be the main event of your day, but instead it’ll be a cherished bi-product. We’ll watch your day unfold naturally as we shoot from the sidelines – creating beautiful images that will last a lifetime.

FAQ
Do you provide the digital files to the client? Are these images retouched? Based on the strength of the images, and how they document your wedding story, I’ll begin to narrow down the entirety of photographs taken at your event. From there, I carefully edit each image by cropping, color-correcting and transferring many into my signature black-and-white style. You will receive these high resolution color correct images on your wedding CD. These images are for personal use only and include a print release. More intensive retouching is complimentary with ordered prints or products, as well as for images selected for your album.
Do you offer a Photo Booth? A photo booth is not available in any of my wedding collections; however, as part-owner of sister company, The Minnesota Photo Booth Company, I do offer the opportunity to book an authentic-style photo booth at a discounted rate. Any client who books wedding services through Crystal Rose Photography qualifies for 10% off of their photo booth rental at www.minnesotaphotoboothcompany.com. Please see their Web site for more information or ask for our pricing booklet.
We love your work! How do we hire you? Booking with Crystal Rose Photography and securing a date is as simple as supplying a 25% non-refundable retainer and signing a contract. The next 25% is due six months prior to the wedding, with the final balance to be paid two weeks before the wedding. Dates are limited and are on a first-come, first-served basis.
What happens after we book with Crystal Rose Photography? You’ll receive an e-mail link to your private client site where you can electronically sign your contract, update contact and wedding information and view updated payment statements and invoices. If you purchase a collection with an engagement session, please contact me to schedule the appointment. Engagement photos are perfect for Save the Date cards, magnets and guest books, so take them early and get your wedding preparations started! I suggest booking this session 4-6 weeks ahead, especially if you have a specific date, location or season in mind. Three months prior to your wedding you’ll receive a detailed questionnaire via your client site to help determine the schedule of your special day. This will help me put together a timeline and shot list that best allows me to capture the important details of your wedding. I’ll also arrange a final client consultation via phone. This can often be at the reception/church 3-4 weeks prior to the wedding.
